Research Notes

"Peter Elmore, born about 9 June 1700, married Rebecca (last name unknown) before 1724.”^[2]

The only other source for the name of Peter Elmore's spouse appears to be the Gedcom uploaded here and on Family Search by Linda. Searches on FamilySearch and Ancestry turn up no results for a name for the spouse as shown on this profile. Peter's mother is Rebecca and his son John apparently married Mary Allen.^[3] Could this be the source for the name "Rebecca Allen" as shown here? More research is needed.
